media pays a lot of attention on who's replacing hillary clinton, john kerry and the head of cabinets but there are also a lot of reports that have been ginned up in agriculture and commerce and interior. and those now on the president's desk and using executive orders to do new things, a new type of farming procedure, a new national monument and couldn't do that in the first term and just living in the white house if you're any family coming here, the president today could watch football, come and be so calm and collected, zen-like almost tonight and be really ready for a second term and the media makes a lot out of curses of the second term but it's a great opportunity. obama care may have been the first-term success but he has to make it the law of the land and institutionalize it. the presidents hit by the curse. i mean, ronald reagan with the iran-contra scandal. bill clinton had monica lewinski. george bush, katrina. they seem to get unsettled and unraveled by a big event, often beyond their control. barack obama, we don't know what it may be. may be nothing but what he does hav

. >> thank you, senator kerry. i have the opportunity while i was in the house to travel a few times overseas with you, and i have seen the regard and respect that the officials in the of the countries have for you and for your record and for what you've done. i appreciate that and think that you are well-suited for this position. let me mention one item briefly and then ask you questions with regard to cuba. i felt perhaps differently than some of my colleagues on the panel that the best way to foster change and progress towards democracy is to allow travel, the free travel of americans to let them go as they wish. and i don't think that that is a weakness or any capitulation at all. it's a way to show strength and in fact i've often felt that if we want a get-tough policy with the castro brothers, we should force them to deal with spring break once or twice.
